A library to emulate rolling dice
Project description
Dragn
Dice system library (aka random.randint
as dice).
A library that makes something simple like a random integer even simpler.
Or at least, makes it look a bit more like rolling dice.
Why?
I wanted a better API to rolling dice using Python, and the usual random.randint
is very good,
but doesn't really represent rolling dice quite the way I imagine it.
This was a good learning experiment, but I'm not expecting anyone to use it.
Who is this for?
People building RPGs, or games that would involve dice and who care about how their code looks like.
I may be biased, but I really believe that this library provides a much better interface than
pure random.randint
.
How to install
$ pip install dragn
How to use
>> from dragn.dice import D4, D6, D8
>>> D6()
1
>>> f"You roll the die and the result is {D8()}"
'You roll the die and the result is 4'
>>> f"You roll 3 dice and you get {[D8() for _ in range(3)]}"
>>> 'You roll 3 dice and you get [3, 1, 8]'
>>> four_dice = D4 * 4
>>> f"You roll 4 dice and the results are {four_dice()}"
'You roll 4 dice and the results are (4, 3, 1, 2)'
>>> f"You roll two dice and the results are {two_dice()}"
'You roll two dice and the results are (3, 4)'
